Dif Juz - No Motion

[alcatrazcc5]

viaje, sueño, olvido...que sonido...genial!!!

[RoofLight00]

2 people weren't around when this came out in the 80's. 

[chobogasorra]

is this dream pop music style?

[Baileycake92]

@chobogasorra Yes it is theyre even listened on the wikipedia page for dream pop definitions

[haulinOats]

Opinions are like a**holes. If you don't like it, change the channel. Dif Juz were amazing and way ahead of their time.

[MIMNED]

The sound is very captivating, jazzy and at the same time obscure. The guitars give a broad sense of freedom, of long journey. I'll love Dif Juz. Always.

[Daycron66]

My favorite song from the 80's. It pre-dates what is now called post rock.

[krakenwave]

2.44 - Black Park!

[ZyncheStrikesBack]

just another 80s pink floyd wannabe band. No wonder not much ppl know them

[Naroon201]

@ZyncheStrikesBack Dif Juz doesn't sound shit like Pink Floyd, nor did they ever try to sound like them. This comment is pretty retarded, but that's to be expected from random youtube commoners like yourself.

[ZyncheStrikesBack]

@Naroon201 oh yeah cause you think you're some kind of YOUTUBE elite here? a bigshot? A famous cyber guy whos opinion will be discussed by many?

Well i'm glad, if it makes you happy and feel important, you dumb fucking prick. No get lost to you shit tasted music

[Naroon201]

@ZyncheStrikesBack It's okay that you know your comment was retarded, and that you feel e-intimidated by my presence. Scurry along now, commoner.

[ZyncheStrikesBack]

@Naroon201 lmfao you're a funny dude

[Naroon201]

@ZyncheStrikesBack At least you have a sense of humor. Everyone else just gets butthurt.

[ZyncheStrikesBack]

@Naroon201 yeah those miserables take it on a personal level, just can't understand it's for fun

at the same time i find it very erotic, to see them raging and making too much big deal out of a little joke

[rmjuanrm]

@ZyncheStrikesBack

1/10

obvious troll is obvious.

[pathogensmusick]

@ZyncheStrikesBack They are nothing like Pink Floyd & have their own style completely.

[pathogensmusick]

@ZyncheStrikesBack @ZyncheStrikesBack Dude!!! Your comment bothered me so much... But I held back from just sending you an angry message filled with cuss-words because; (A) I am not a total jack-ass, & (B) We all have our opinions about music. However, considering Dif Juz is one of my favorite bands of ALL time, I must respond on their behalf. Dif Juz is so greatly under-rated that it saddens me, & if you haven't sat down & listened to one of their albums before you judge them; you should do so.

[mahajohn]

@ZyncheStrikesBack Just another? Who were those 1980s bands that wanted to be Pink Floyd? You've obviously not explored Dif Juz at all, and I'm saying this as a deep lover of Pink Floyd. That you even think they sound at all alike indicates that you have a pretty underdeveloped notion of music, sound and art. If you think evocative soundscapes heavily indebted to dub and jazz have something to do with Pink Floyd's spacey blues aesthetic, well, you live in a sad, grey world.

[4ADBear]

VERY nice!!!!

[vlado544]

how can anyone who comes across this page dislike this?

[twister5960]

hello Al still sounds good craig x.

[twister5960]

hello Al still sounds good. Vraig xx

[ositovargas]

this sounds like soda stereo but also unique

[electreclectico]

@ositovargas con todo respeto; se nota que no tienes la mas puta idea de lo que dices...como llegaste aqui?

[capitangris]

Muy, pero muy bueno, espacial.

[simionTheOne]

this is f*ckin beautifull

what a video btw, amazing material here

[McSnurf]

The only motionless in this song is the title.

[SupernalOne]

ah, those chiming guitars...

[Anopholes1]

Dif Juz or "diffuse" were my fave way back when. They were great live.  Saw them when they opened for the Cocteau Twins at ICA london donkeys ago

[MIMNED]

I ever loved Dif Juz.

Their music takes my mind!

[podfunk]

This is what jazz rock SHOULD sound like rather than the emotionally null wank fest it usually is. This track's soaring melancholy has been favourite of mine since LIAE was released way back in ...oh...late 87 was it? Shame Dif Juz split just as they were reaching their creative peak.

[GenocydeAgenda]

This is the track that got me interested in Video Production and actually got me interested in guitar. Being a piano player from age 6 and working my way to a semi-professional level of playing, I owe my guitar writing methods to Dif Juz and Robin Guthrie completely

[drziltox]

i saw this once on vh1 classic 120 min, what a great tune and video, its amazing that this band could not last long enough to be acknowledged by the mainstream, but then again that's why we treasure tracks like these when we discover them

[SpidermanAidan]

Can you have a deserted island label? 4AD!

Dif Juz is amazing...

[HayenMill]

One of the earliest examples of post-rock. Incredible.

[brownjenkinstail]

Yes! I didn't even think to look this video up until about 10 minutes ago. I fucking love this band.

[abecedarianscom]

Amazing how well this band and music holds up...the essense of cool these guys...

[edertronics]

woow, no los conocía, soy gran fan de cocteau twins y de Robin pero como puede ser que no los conociera, son magníficos.

[Boleskine33]

fucking just cool. Haunting .

[viooltjie]

It is amazing that such a perfect group so well tuned in style and esthics should just disappear into oblivion. They had that unique sound of sublimity, hopefully they will unite again as there are so much crap out there and we scream for good music. What a group.

[bookmarkthis]

@Naroon201

You think which is true? The Perry/Guthrie/Dif Juz LP? How could such a potentially perfect collaboration be left unreleased? How could it not be good...

I have a few live bootlegs audios from the same tour, I believe I found on slsk.

[Naroon201]

I think the LP is real as well as Thomas being here on youtube. Do you have No Motion live audio?

[invisibledesire]

@bookmarkthis OMG! Could it be true? Please, if somebody have it, share it with us!

[bookmarkthis]

@invisibledesire I dont know where to verify besides asking the blokes involved themselves... I'm sure I'll run into them eventually... and I'll get their own words on it.

[bookmarkthis]

I feel "I know" & I'm pretty sure youtube member "richiet763" is Richard Thomas of Dif Juz (drums, percussion, saxophone). If I recall a while back, he wrote something about "trying to locate band members" on his profile, as if he'd lost touch with them perhaps?

Imagine if they did a reunion tour & put out more music, would people finally get it?

Wikipedia says there's an unreleased LP, a collaboration with Lee Scratch Perry recorded with Robin Guthrie in the vaults of 4AD. Anyone verify this?

[Naroon201]

@bookmarkthis I can't verify it, but I think it's true. I'd love to hear more from them. No Motion and The Last Song are easily my favorite Dif Juz tracks. Kind of a shame how they most likely lost touch. I've never seen this song performed live. That'd be amazing.

[MIMNED]

Dif Juz has always been an atypical band, shy, introspective and original. Their music is the essence of something very inspiring and is a real shame that they are out of circulation. "No Motion" is really a great track.

[Dellboyflyer]

A great track. A great band. A great record label. Why didn't Dif Juz make more music??

[WeHaveExplosive]

This song is impossibly good! The Eyesore VHS really deserves a DVD release.

[Gedemondas]

here here! :)

[creepycraig73]

@WeHaveExplosive It may happen soon. The This Mortal Coil catalog is being reissued on CD/LP and Blu-Ray in early 2011. All of the TMC videos will be included. Hopefully Lonely Is An Eyesore will be right behind it.

[PlazaMoon]

@WeHaveExplosive - Sends shivers down my spine. i saw them play with the Cocteau twins in Liverpool around 24 years ago and though they were incredible

[Naroon201]

These guys were before their time. The world just wasn't ready for this bliss.

[timmyUK12]

i was there on that tour when they supported them too. Coventry maybe? Best support act i've seen - love no motion!

[CHAPMAN1965]

they supported the Cocteau Twins on one of their tours and Liz Fraser came out and berated the audience for not showing them enough appreciation. I think she may even have sworn!

[s17007]

:  )

[coolti44]

lonely is an eyesore is such a great compilation!

[PROJECTOAZULjjgg]

wow!!! touched me your music! great great! I will add you on my space!...hugs! joao

[ntrifle]

This ones for Bimble. RIP man who loved music.

[doesnthurt2try]

I searched the album like crazy looking for track's that had this sound....I think there was maybe like one more

[julosx]

This is a feature of a time when Ivo was running 4AD and, definitely, it meant something.

[xalexsnappa]

wonderfull piece of history, one of my favorite 4AD bands from that time ... respect

[BartDaCat]

Thanks for the great post. The entire album this song was part of, 'Lonely Is An Eyesore', has resounded with me over the years. Beautiful piece of music.

[Daycron66]

Epic!

This song has drilled a hole in my head a thousand times since it first came out. The rhythms stop time, and the lead guitar is like an air-raid siren in your soul.

Thank you, Dif Juz.

[kamela13]

amaizing!

[frozzzs]

recuerdo ke me rolaron esto por ahi del 94, lonely as on eyesore...

[mychotik]

Post punk with the fluidity of jazz..I have loved this track since hearing it in 87

[MadPerp4Luv]

A slice of HEAVEN!!! This is one of my favorite tracks of all-time!!! I still crankNjam when i play it ~ Long Live Classic 4AD!!!

[sqTake2]

Best instrumental band ever, god bless 4AD for signing them!

[pearlchrome]

Sounds a little bit like my favourite band,

Pink Floyd

[krisstoff74]

Perfect & GREAT Music... Respect!

[andrevhammer]

...fucking awesome!!! - thanx for upload!!!!

[LazareHoche]

Awesome! Precusors of post-rock that should happen 8 years after?

[zzzayats]

oh sweet nostalgia!

I remember those days... I was a fan of CT and DCD then a friend of mine introduced me to Pixies and Wolfgang Press and soon we realized that EVERYTHING on that black-and-white 4AD loose leaf is worth digging. This was the way I came to listen to this obscure band named DIF JUZ - just because it was on the list! It striked me, but I seemed to be the only one who appreciated it - in the whole world!(there was no Internet yet)

Thank you guys,now I know I'm not the only one!

[WhackaWhacka]

I love this but I'm having a hard time getting into Extractions.

[skinnerslab]

It scares me how good these guys are. I'll always wish they had more releases, and want to know more about them, but enjoy the mystery that surrounds their music. Haunting, endlessly melancholy, chillingly beautiful music.

[drkam6]

amazing

[Sunflower0122Z]

If you love this get their disc Extractions, it has earlier EP stuff too.

[DownGrand1967]

Simply superb, a great piece of instrumental music.... those ringing guitars....and complementary video imagery. A pity it's not 30 minutes long...My god, its 20 years old now as well... !

[kitspool]

Just a phenomenal track. One of the best pieces of 4AD music ever.

[guitarrito55]

if you think in fame never listen this great band.

[breath888]

Someone introduced me to this music back around 89. Can't remember his name, but I'll never forget this music. It was on the Lonely is an Eyesore video. Was happy to find the CD at Amazon.

[podfunk]

This track was their crowning achievement. A beautiful surge of emotion.

[powershot44]

That's remember end of 80'

jangenk, you are right chameleons was gorgeous as well...

[libraquaricorn]

This moves me e v e r y  time

[jangenk]

great memories... dif juz could have been cousins of the chameleons! both 5 stars

[ABTE67]

great quality rocks

[saultie]

one of my favorite songs of all time, thank you for posting!

[alcatrazcc5]

This song is a great treasure, makes you go beyond where to stop weeping by the known ... and find a new spirit into a new life that is unknown oh life!

[jimboessex]

Jesus, how good is this, forgotten just how good they were, dug out some of their records a while ago, truly beautiful!

[morpheus1x]

brings back those dream memories...going to different worlds and hoping some of them where real

[invisibledesire]

uno de los presursores del post-rock......

[chowderbsk]

This wonderful Dif Juz music takes me back to the time when I dreamed of the future....funny how it has turned out....so much different from the dreams I had when first listening to this great music....oh, to be young again.......;)

[2masdos3]

yes love this years ........miss

[poolsidenyc]

Tell me about it. Like another planet or something.

[Cashane]

Flash of youth shoot out of darkness..

oh to be the cream.

[pecky23]

I love this song, I wish there was a video for the other Dij Juz track, the one that with all the samples in it.

[redwoodpark]

beautiful nostalgia of days gone by...i love them still...guitar riffs flying through the air. What ever happened ...they were so damn good

[contraelgobierno]

one of the members got sick

never broke up

just digressed

[bleuroo]

That's a pity.

Hopefully he's on his way to recovery now?

[smartin108]

Lonely... memories... Thx.

[MIMNED]

I ever loved Dif Juz.Unique style,great quality,unforgettable nostalgic backgrounds.For the eternity into my mind.

[luistun]

QUISE DECIR "SOUNDPOOL". GRACIAS.

[jojo808]

I have that1 too, it shows how they sound without Robin's knob twiddling. All their singles/eps . Found DIF by chance,like the cover,a Huge treasure for a big Cocteau Fan like me. I actually got my Dad a big Jazz head to dig this album. the re-release with extra tracks is choice.

[luistun]

definitivamente una canción integral, el manejo del bajo, de la bateria y las guitarras, una canción muy dinámica y con una continuidad excelente...del "No Motion" 4AD.

[enagyb]

El compañero luistun cometió un lapsus. La rola viene en el LP Extractions,1985, 4AD, legendario sello. Perdi la cinta del disco (alas!) pero una álbum en verdada excelente, por completo en la estética de ese sello. Una lástima que no DifJuz no sacó nada más.

Ah, los 80s...

[mauriciomunuera]

Lonely is an eyesore.

[iris2gamera]

How far ahead of "post-rock" was this? Amazing video from simple techniques. Find all their music -- it's worth it!

[ralphian67]

Beyond the shadow of a doubt ---- a track that flies in the stratosphere when most music finds its home in some dirty puddle water near the surface. Freaking Dif Juz... I hope they're all doing well, ... they have no idea what they've done.

[dozeybint]

Aaah, 4AD...the memories of my youth, when everything was so beautiful and devastating. These guys just made heavenly music. Ivo was a genious, and I loved every track on Lonely is an Eyesore. I remember the artwork on every 4AD album was inspiring too. 4AD...the world of the senses. Dif Juz...masters of their craft. Amazing!!

[artocchio]

...guitar like razors...

[mizake74]

For me... one of the best tracks ever!

[nightwatch01]

Wonderful tune, great band. Sad, they did not made more for us...

[orangevideo]

Seems so many people across this small little blue planet of ours finds meaningful joy from this timeless piece of sonic lucidity. I saw this video on 120 minutes a thousand years ago, and have been hooked ( on 4 A.D.) since. IVO hand his thumb on the pulse of a musical revolution at that time, Lonely is an Eyesore was cutting edge, and when Filigree and Shadows was released, it set the sonic trend for my ears for the following decade. This track is a masterpiece.

[loomer88]

I have loved this song since it came out, and this is one of the best combinations of (rock)music and video ever done. The way the drops disrupt the still 'mirror' of the glassy water and THEN you hear the falling guitar line is sheer brilliance. You get the feeling that 'time' is going backwards. The visual aspect plays with the theme of stopping time (hence no motion) even as the scenery flies by and the camera swoops in and out. So cool.

[bleuroo]

I listen to this one in the headphones whenever I want to flex my imagination. I've done it for years now. It's been the soundtrack of hundreds -- no, thousands -- of daydreams. Still fresh, still inspiring. And for that I'll always be grateful to them.

[kensatan]

just gorgeous. thought this was actually the highlight on 'Lonely is and Eyesore' even though there is some excellent music on there.

[drkam6]

Amazing... infinite guitars

[DivaXMachina]

everything on Lonely is an Eyesore was flawless...

[Gedemondas]

thanks for all the comments, great to hear from you all who love this song like I do. There's another Dif Juz song on YouTube, but its used as backing music behind a god-awful Ninja movie. I'm pretty sure it was used without permission, but if you want to hear "Gunet" by Dif Juz, search YouTube for "ninja squad final fight" (it starts about halfway through)

[zehnoffbass]

Wow.Not the best 4AD Band,but still stunning.

The best piece in Lonely is an eyesore is the beutiful "Crushed" of the Cocteau twins.

[beowulven]

I think they were the best, overall. CT close 2nd...

[DadaSunRa]

I just came across this music a few months ago via Pandora. This piece is a singular event. It's awful to think I might have died without hearing it. Stunning inspiration.

[misteryatman]

Just a wonderful piece of music. Cocteau-dub-jazz, swinging in 3/4 like a runaway horse in a Siberian wood. They really were one-offs and you should hunt down their records.

[Lecram1978]

VALIOSO !!!!

[no2GMOs]

Damned to obscurity on earth, Dif Juz provides the cognoscenti a glimpse of musical paradise afterlife.

[ahosek]

Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.

[trombalf]

First time I've heard it some 20 years ago, and I still love it. Timeless one I suppose...

[jennvix]

Stunning. It always leaves me speechless.

[kbb52]

Hello Jennvix & Gedemondas,

I humbly concur.

okGoodbye.

kb52

[mproebstle]

This is always a fav - I bought the original Lonely Is An Eyesore record and immediately wore this track out (yes - vinyl, or "Big CD's" as my daughters call them!). I still crank it up even today. That is a great EP.
